Arkansas basketball coach Eric Musselman and his staff continued their streak of landing high-profile prospects Saturday with the commitment of ESPN 4-star Layden Blocker.
Blocker, 6-2, 172 pounds, of Sunrise Academy in Kansas, chose the Razorbacks over scholarship offers from Kansas, Kansas State, Maryland, Ole Miss, Alabama, Auburn, Oklahoma, Baylor, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, St John's, Tennessee and other schools.
He officially visited Arkansas, Kansas State and Maryland. He canceled a visit to Kansas.
Prior to playing for Sunrise, Blocker was a member of the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette’s All-Arkansas Preps Underclassman Team as a freshman and sophomore at Little Rock Christian.
